[. . . ] TROPHY CAMTM INSTRUCTION MANUAL Model#: 119425C Lit# 98-1573/02-10 IMPORTANT NOTE Congratulations on your purchase of one of the best trail cameras on the market!Bushnell is very proud of this little unit and we are sure you will be pleased with it as well. Please refer to the notes below and the instructions in this manual to ensure that you are completely satisfied with this product. If your Bushnell Trophy Cam does not seem to be functioning properly or if you are having photo/video quality issues, please check the Troubleshooting/FAQ section on pages 25-28. [. . . ] We recommend mounting the Trophy Cam on a sturdy tree with a diameter of about 6 in. To get the optimal picture quality, the tree should be about 16-17 ft. (5 meters) away from the place to be monitored, with the camera placed at a height of 5-6. 5 ft. Also, keep in mind that you will get the best results at night when the subject is within the ideal flash range, no farther than 45' (14m) and no closer than 10' (3m) from the camera. There are two ways to mount the Trophy Cam: using the provided adjustable web belt, or the tripod socket. Push one end of the belt through the two brackets on the back of the Trophy Cam. Fasten the belt securely around the tree trunk by clicking the buckle ends together after tightening the belt so there is no slack left. Fig. 5: Attaching the Belt 19 Using the tripod socket: The camera is equipped with a socket at the bottom end to enable mounting on a tripod or other mounting accessories with a standard1/4-20 thread. Two optional mounting accessories, a "Bear Safe" metal camera box (model # 19653C) and Deluxe Tree Bracket (model# 119652C) are also available-please see your Bushnell dealer or website for more details. Sensing Angle and Distance Test To test whether the Trophy Cam can effectively monitor the area you choose, this test is recommended to check the sensing angle and monitoring distance of the Trophy Cam. To perform the test: · Switch the Trophy Cam to the SETUP mode. · Make movements in front of the camera at several positions within the area where you expect the game or subjects to be. · If the motion indicator LED light blinks, it indicates that position can be sensed. The results of your testing will help you find the best placement when mounting and aiming the Trophy Cam. The height away from the ground for placing the device should vary with the animal size appropriately. You can avoid potential false triggers due to temperature and motion disturbances in front of the camera by not aiming it at a heat source or nearby tree branches or brush (especially on windy days). Switching ON the Camera Once you switch to the ON mode, the motion indicator LED (red) will blink for about 10 seconds. This gives you time to close and lock the front cover of the Trophy Cam and then walk away. During this time, the motion indicator LED will blink red continuously. After it stops blinking, the PIR is active, and any motion that is detected by it will trigger the capture of photos or videos as programmed in the SETUP Menu. Be sure you have read the descriptions of the Capture Number, Video Length, Interval 20 and Sensor Level parameters. The greater the temperature difference between the environment and your subject, the farther the possible sensing distance. [. . . ] Do not move the switch directly from "On" to "Setup"-always move the switch all the way down to "Off" first, then back up to "Setup". LCD screen shows a faint black line after turning from "Setup" to "On". The LCD will turn off when you slide the switch to the "On" position. In some cases, this black line will appear and then fade in about 1 second. [. . . ]
